Green Williams was swt ging around
With his many friends.
Guthrie of the San Angelo Stand .rd is
whizzer for young man.
Bro. Whitley still claims that navy is
the only tobacco worth chewing.
Vanderhurst of the Texalkans Times,
left on his bee-gum and brOadciOth and
flashed out in q Cabeen and check suit.
The question arising on the original
motion, it is proper to decide what
CranfiIl proposes doing with all those
crackers.
THE GAZETTE office WAS paid a pleasant
cali by Mrs. Maggie A Rust, Mrs. A. T.
McCarser, Mr.. E. G Rust and Master
Rust MGCaTger.
Treasurer Johnson sighed when his re-
election wss announced. He thought
about having to hold that three dollass
another year.
When the excursion returned from the
new town of Paddock some of the boys
had perceptible looseness of the len
gual nerves.
If the fun!or. ceedings oft5e convention
were telegrapbed to Paris, it is claimed
that some one would ne on the way to in
terview Mr.. Fred Gaines before long.
Bowman of Cotula says that his only
regret is that seven years ago when ne
WIS JdSSlD1 rOIl w OLll, 1t OlCl
not stop off and 1uy the town.
Scurlock declares that when he Ie-
turns to Cleburne he will get him
Ratchet and hew out map upon which
Fort Worth will be conspicuous by its
absence.
Musrrove of the Sweetwater Record
snd Dodson of the Rusk County News
are two of the most modest and worthy
editors THE GAZETTE has ever met.
Murray of the Deuison Gazetteer says
he sits back and laughs when he sees men
struggling in the tolls OF daily journalism.
The old man knows all about; he once
honored daily journalism himself.
Brother SCurloCk offered to ride out of
town five miles if he could fad anyone
who would not talk about artesian water
Late in the evening he had agreed to
walk out. He claims that every man,
woman and child, dog and Democrat, !
continually talk about artesian water.
It was meet that Mr.. f G. Senter, the
pet of the Texas Press Association should
have been remembered. 1t was grace |
full act OF the part of Mr.. Johnson of
Houston, himself one Of the most talented
and popular members of the Association,
to propose Mr.. Senter's name for
honorary membership.
Mr.. W, T. Hawkins says that the state
ment contained in the Evening Mail is
erroneous in that he was robbed between
Mckinney and Dallas, and not after leav-
ing Dallas. The statement that news
paper man was guilty of having $50 at
one time still lacks confirmation how
ever.
TIE PAVILION BALL.
The pavilion ball was grand success
and fitting climax to the round of
pleasure. The pavilion grounds were
brilliantly Illuminated and a bountiful
supply of refreshments spread on number
less tables. The music furnished was
superb and the guests seemed to enjoy
themselves thoroughly. The young
folks danced and the old folks Joined in
with much glee and vim. THE GAZETTE
regrets that all the costumes cannot be |
reported, on account of the inability of
our representative to meet all the gen.
tlemen. What he obtained, however, are |
here given:
